Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of Ugandan Infants With Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infection

Abstract

We conclude that HIV infection results in more frequent and earlier abnormalities in infants' neurologic status and motor development that are not attributable to other biological and environmental risk factors. More frequent mental developmental abnormalities were evident at several ages. However, information-processing abilities, such as recognition memory, may be spared from HIV-related deficits.
